Home Blog Mobile and Online Casinos Launch Responsible Gambling Tools Blog Mobile and Online Casinos Launch Responsible Gambling Tools By bettingandgambling - January 13, 2021 699 0 As both mobile and online casino sites offer people the chance of playing their favourite casino games online for real money and therefore give people the chance of winning some huge amounts of cash too, such apps and sites have proven to be huge people recently. In fact, the very first casino sites went live way back in the early to mid-1990s and these days there are literally thousands of them available to gamblers online, and I am confident that many people who do make use of such sites and apps will always gamble responsibly at them. However, there is always going to be the risk for some people when gambling, that they could experience all manner of problems and that is something that the powers that be over at the UK Gambling Commission are more than aware of, that is why tools like the GamStop service were created. A service created with the only purpose of helping people who want to give up gambling. Of course, there will always be lots of non-GamStop casino sites still available to players that you can find on sites like nongamstopsites.com, and as such those players that have made a concerted effort to sign up to GamStop and have added their names and personal details onto that self-exclusion register are always going to be able to register as a real money player at those casinos, make a deposit then gamble. As such you should ensure that if you are someone that is quite fond of gambling that when you switch over to gambling online or via a mobile device you make use of the many different responsible gambling tools available to you. Those tools include one very handy setting, known as a deposit option setting and by making use of it the site or app you are using will allow you to set a period of time and an amount to be used as your own personal deposit limit, and you will then not be allowed to deposit more cash once you have reached that limit and your self-imposed and self-selected period of time for that limit to be in place has not expired. GamStop Hails Their Self-Exclusion Register a Success The GamStop service has been hailed as an ongoing success, and if that is an organisation you have never heard about before, but you are one of the many people out there that have decided that you want to give up gambling online, then it is one you need to familiarise yourself rather quickly with. They offer an all in one service for those people who wish to self-exclude themselves rapidly from all UK licensed gambling sites whilst also offering a service that ensures moving forward, they will not be allowed to open up an account at any of those sites either. If you head on over to the GamStop website right now you can add your name quickly onto that self-exclusion register, and all gambling site operators in the UK will see your details being added to it and will then take the steps required to immediately start closing down your accounts if you hold one with them. As mentioned at no point in time in the future will you be able to sign up to any of those sites whilst your details remain on that register and as such it is a good way for you to ensure you will never be tempted to gamble online at those sites, so please do consider signing up to that register today if not this very second? Non UK Licensed Casinos Need to Join GamStop The only way that GamStop is going to be completely successful as a concept, is by having every single online and mobile gambling site being required to sign up to their scheme. However, that is never going to be the case, due to the fact that there are a large number of different casino licensing jurisdictions spread over the world, coupled with the fact that some casino sites are not actually licensed anywhere. If you are on that register and want to remove the risk of you giving into temptation and signing up to one of those non GamStop sites, then please do self-exclude from as many of them you come across, or even better download a gambling site blocker tool onto your computer and mobile devices too. That way you will no longer be able to access and sites that offer any type of gambling facility, thus ensuring you will not be able to gamble online or via a mobile device in the future, which is of course what you will be aiming to achieve when you give up gambling.
